September 2018 marks the 80th anniversary of the Munich agreement, where the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, flew to Germany to meet Hitler; in an attempt to avert war. He famously returned with an agreement which he believed would deliver \\u2018peace in our time\\u2019.

It got me thinking about Hitler\'s rise to power, in 1933 he joined the government one of only three Nazi\\u2019s in it. Five years later he was dominating European foreign policy, as he pushes forward with his agenda. In this episode I thought we\\u2019d look at Hitler\\u2019s rise to power, from the end of the First World War, through to him joining in the government in 1933.

Joining me today is Professor Matthew Stibbe, from Sheffield University. \\xa0He has delivered an excellent chapter in the new Oxford Illustrated History of the Third Reichlooking at the rise of National Socialism.
